CTV: On Sunday night, Ottawa Senators CEO Cyril Leeder talked about the team’s playoff push, the LeBreton Flats redevelopment and the club’s involvement with the PWHL.
LeBreton Flats is the future home of the Ottawa Senators and expected to be a multibillion-dollar investment located near downtown. Leeder said they are working with the Algonquin Anishinabe Nation for a potential long-term economic partnership as part of the project.
The Senators were in the last wild card playoff position on Monday with only five games left. Under the current standings, Ottawa would play the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round.

CBC: Niagara Regional Police were trying to open homicide victim Randy Fader’s phone to access more evidence. The 2024 killing is believed to be linked with a criminal network led by former Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding.
Authorities say the killing is likely to stem from hired gunman, Malik Damion Cunningham, allegedly on orders from Wedding’s associate Andrew Clark.
While police continue to search for additional suspects and links to a broader pattern of violence connected to the organization, Cunningham remains in custody fighting extradition to the U.S.

The Ottawa 67’s are moving deeper into the OHL playoffs and the quest for the J. Ross Robertson Cup.
Ottawa took on Kingston in Round 1 in what was a heavy battle between two teams that had not met in the playoffs since 1981 and reignited the rivalry in 2026.
Heading into the playoffs, both teams were more on the younger side with rookies tasting playoff hockey for the first time at the major junior level.
Those rookies for the Ottawa 67’s, combined with over-agers and veterans, managed to sweep the Kingston Frontenacs in telling fashion, in four games.
Kingston never backed down despite being swept in the series and really gave the 67’s fits throughout the series and made Ottawa be more aware, on their toes and more vigilant. They have a good future brewing in Frontenacs land.

There were so many game-changers and storytelling elements that made the series quick but exciting and hopeful as Ottawa gets to come back to the nation’s capital for more playoff hockey.
The playoff Rookies came through for the Ottawa 67’s
The big opportunities and spotlight for the first-timers on this Ottawa 67’s team made a massive story throughout the series.
Rookie Finish import and 67’s forward Jasper Kuhta wrapped up his first OHL playoff series second in points on the team with five points in four games, (two goals and three assists) and he was tied for first of all playoff rookies on the team in points.
67’s defenceman Kohyn Eshkawkogan also played in his first OHL playoff series and came up large. He led all defenceman on the team with five points in five games, all of them being assists. He is tied with Jasper Kuhta for first among all rookies on the team in points after the series in points.
First-year rookie forward and Nepean native Thomas Vandenberg had a good first taste of playoff hockey and made an impact on the scoresheet and the lineup. Vandenberg was able to notch a point per game in the series with two goals and two assists, with both goals in the series coming on the power-play. He was first in points out of four first-year rookies on the team.
Swedish import and 67’s forward Filip Ekberg wrapped up his first OHL playoff series. Ekberg was fourth in points on the team with four points in four games (three goals and three assists). Ekberg is tied in first for goals after the first round. Ekberg also scored the series winning goal in game four. He was a big part of the success.
Captain Foster leads the way for his 67’s
67’s captain and over-ager Cooper Foster in his last season in the Ontario Hockey League has that chip on his shoulder of wanting to go out winning a trophy or two and making a name for himself before heading to professional hockey.
Foster had a complete first-round series as he led his team on the ice in the physicality and experience department. He also at the end of the series leads the entire team in points with six in four games (one goal and five assists), with the lone goal being a power-play tally.
He will look to repeat the same formula in Round 2.
Ryder Fetterolf stays solid between the pipes
First year rookie goaltender and signed American free agent Ryder Fetterolf, played in his first OHL Playoff round and had some highs and lows throughout the series. He was also big in the save department for his team when Kingston had there respective pushes in the four games and had the 67’s on their heels at times.

In all four games this series, he started and secured four straight wins and finished with a stat line of a 2.50 goals against average and a 0.896 save percentage.
Fetterolf faced 96 shots in the series and saved 86. He did allow 10 goals in four games but that doesn’t matter when the wins are piling up for him and his team.
Fetterolf after Ottawa’s Game 2 win spoke about the playoff hockey feeling and what it means to him.
“I wouldn’t say I’m treating it too much differently, obviously the games are, I think, they’re a lot better than the regular season, a lot more on the line,” said Fetterolf.
Fetterolf will continue to look to stack up more wins and be strong between the net for his team in the second round.
Veteran experience played dividends in Round 1
Veteran forward Nic Sima is appearing in his fifth straight season of OHL playoff hockey, with North Bay Battalion, Saginaw Spirit and now the Ottawa 67’s. He is a 2023-2024 Memorial Cup champion with the Spirit. In the first round he was tied in goals at three and he also notched one assist as well with four points in the series.
David Bedkowski, who the defenceman the 67’s acquired in this season’s trade deadline from the Oshawa Generals, is also playing in his fourth straight season of playoff hockey. Bedkowski was rock solid on the backend and provided defensive depth for the 67’s in Round 1 and notched one goal and one assist in the first round. He brought the boom on the physicality aspect.
Frankie Marrelli, the longtime 67’s defender, appeared in his third year of playoff hockey with the 67’s and provided that long-lasting experience that was said to be passed to the defensive core in the locker room. He had two assists in four games.
Nic Whitehead, another multi year 67 forward had four assists in the series and provided an impact around the locker room and on the ice.
The 67’s now stay ready and nimble as they get some time to rest up before heading to Barrie to take on the Colts in Round 2. Game 1 goes April 9.
The tightest and closest game of the series tested the Ottawa 67’s, but some late-game heroics have sent the 67’s to Round 2 of the OHL playoffs

A 3-2 win against the Kingston Frontenacs in Game 4 on April 2 has sent the Ottawa 67’s to the second round of the playoffs in the OHL Eastern Conference. It wasn’t the prettiest effort by the 67’s as they had to fight for the game-winning goal.
The streak of fights at the start of the game ended as the Frontenacs and 67’s were laser focused on an elimination game that was do or die for one team and win and move on for another.
It was all Ottawa to start the game as they struck twice within the first three minutes of with a Sam McCue “Michigan” highlight reel goal and second of the series to put the 67’s up just 41 seconds in. Nic Sima scored his third goal of the series off a tip in from a Jasper Kuhta.
Those two goals were enough for Kingston head coach Troy Mann to yank starting goaltender Matthew Minchak and put in Gavin Betts, who was the starting goalie in Games 1 and 2 back in Ottawa.
Kingston was able to score the next two goals when Matthew Frost put a loose puck home as his linemates Adam Kelly and Riley Clark helped put together a lengthy sustained shift in the first. Robin Kuzma snuck a shot past Ryder Fetterolf a minute into the second to draw even.
Ottawa defenceman David Bedkowski was ejected in the second period after a blindside body check on Kingston’s Kieren Dervin. He was given a five-minute major and 10-minute penalty for blindsiding after a lengthy review.
Bedkowski may see the league possibly review his ejection for possible suspension, but it’s rather unlikely due to the fact it was shoulder to chest. The OHL does not, however, tolerate blindside hits.
The second and third periods were very tight and both teams gave each other no room. Overtime appeared in order as time was winding down in the third period.
It was late-game heroics from 67’s forward Filip Ekberg with 30 seconds left in the third period. He walked in all alone and went backhand-forehand on Gavin Betts as he out deked the Kingston defence for his third of the series.
That would be the series winner and the 67’s secured the sweep as they beat the Frontenacs in the game and round.
Ryder Fetterolf was able to lock down the fort between the pipes, stopping 20 of 22 shots.
After the game in the locker room, 67’s head coach Dave Cameron said to his players that he and the team all knew it wasn’t their best effort but they stayed with it and got the job done.

A rendering of a proposed Chick-fil-A restaurant at the College Square plaza filed with the land owner's development application.
Algonquin College students are reacting positively to the possibility of a Chick-fil-A opening in the nearby College Square plaza, with many expressing interest in the proposal and support for the potential new dining option.
Chick-fil-A has applied to the City of Ottawa to open a new restaurant, planning to take over the current Beer Store location in the College Square plaza. The application, which has not yet been approved, was recently submitted as part of the company’s proposed expansion into the area. The restaurant would be built at the existing retail site, though a final decision from the city is still pending.
The Beer Store’s College Square location remains open and continues to serve customers.
First-year TV broadcasting student Jayden Cruise welcomes the possible addition of a restaurant at College Square.
“I really appreciate the variety of different food options available in College Square. This wider selection is beneficial for the community,” Cruise said.
A new restaurant would offer more choice for students and the surrounding community and add to the growing appeal of College Square as a dining destination near campus.
First-year accounting student Tim Rwamirego also expressed enthusiasm.
“I don’t really have any concerns about the new location — just hope the lines aren’t too long,” he said.
College Coun. Laine Johnson invited residents to provide feedback on the proposal until April 1, giving the community an opportunity to weigh in on the plans for the new restaurant.

Chick-fil-A’s first location in Canada opened in Toronto on Sept. 6, 2019, at the corner of Yonge and Bloor streets. Since then, the restaurants have expanded across the country.
The restaurant chain currently has two locations in Ottawa: one at CF Rideau Centre and another at Tanger Outlet in Kanata.
Students are defending their discipline and wondering what it could mean for the future

Algonquin College culinary students.
Culinary students at Algonquin College don’t like seeing administrators target their discipline in recent program cuts.
The board of governors in March agreed with a recommendation to suspend the honours bachelor of culinary arts and food science program, one of 30 programs cut across the college.
The diploma program in culinary management and certificate program in culinary skills remain.
Culinary students worry about what the program cuts mean for future students.
“People should get to do those programs, and it sucks that they’re getting removed. And then there’s less opportunities for education here,” said Victoria Champion, a second-level Algonquin College student in the culinary management program.
Another student defended the culinary programs and students’ passion for their work.
“It’s a part of our course to get out in the industry, and most of us do that by working in the cafeteria and providing food for other students,” said Jaiydn Clarke, a second-level Algonquin College student in the culinary management program.
“It’s very important. It just shows how student-oriented our school it is. It’s very important to the other students as well, seeing their friends make their food or we know the quality of it is going to be good.”
Clarke said the culinary program is more than academics.
“At Algonquin, we have a big, friendly community with all of us and taking that away from us, it’s you’re taking away our community. You’re taking away our friends and everything else that the culinary programs bring into this college,” said Clarke.

Students aren’t the only ones shocked by the recent program cuts.
Matthew Shepherd, a culinary arts and food science professor, says the impact could go beyond the programs that have been cut.
“There is potential negative impact on students who are considering the program. If they feel like the course or the program that they’re taking is no longer offered, then they might be hesitant to sign up for it,” said Shepherd, who teaches in the honours bachelor of culinary arts and food science program.
While the situation seems negative, Shepherd offers a different point of view.
“There’s many programs within our department that have been affected by this. Our culinary department, along with the baking courses of programs, are getting a bit of a retooling,” said Shepherd.
“It’s an opportunity to protect and safeguard our programs so that they are viable and sustainable for the future, as opposed to being completely wiped off of the table.”
Students, alumni and professionals gathered on March 30 in the D-building to network, share ideas and celebrate each other

May Bradford, an Algonquin alumna of the motive power technician program, was inspired to become a mechanic in high school when she took an automotive class.
Now, she’s the only woman in a group of six men in an auto shop.
And she’s tired of being “babied.”
“If I start even slightly (to) struggle, they’ll just jump in and do it for me. They won’t let me struggle and figure it out, or try and do whatever I can to figure it out,” said Bradford, who was one of many women who attended the Women in Tech and Trades event on March 30 in Algonquin College’s D-building.

Bradford said networking at events like the WiTT panel has empowered her and boosted her confidence.
“I’ve been to about three of these kinds of events now, and it’s every time I go, I build more of a backbone, and I’m a lot more assertive of, ‘No, stop what you’re doing. This is my project. I am working on this car. I am asking for assistance, not for you to do it.’ And they’ve started to respect me on that, but it’s… I’ve been there for two years and it’s an uphill battle every day,” said Bradford.
The event was set to start at 4 p.m., but people began streaming in early and the room was full by 3:45 p.m. Companies set up booths where students could ask about different pathways and potential job opportunities after graduation.

“We’re always trying to find new ways to hire women in our R&D roles. I think it’s an ongoing struggle for a lot of companies. So having events like this helps us to reach those goals of having diversity in the workplace,” said Meagan O’Leary, HR specialist and campus lead at Ross Video.
Algonquin College’s WiTT program, revamped in September 2025 and previously named We Saved You a Seat, supports women pursuing careers in traditionally male-dominated industries.
By increasing the visibility of women as leaders, WiTT encourages women to consider a wider range of career paths. Representation brings a wide range of perspectives, particularly within these industries that thrive on innovation and diverse thinking.
The panel consisted of four professionals in tech or trades, with Katherine Root, dean of the Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence, acting as moderator and asking questions.
Themes that each of the women kept coming back to were taking initiative, getting out of your comfort zone and being bold.
Katherine Rodger, estimating manager at Black & McDonald, had advice for graduating students.
“I find a lot of the times I’m interviewing new grads, and I can’t hear you across the table, I have no confidence I’ll be able to hear you in the workplace,” said Rodger. “But speak up, speak clearly, and ask questions.”
Alise Wang, cybersecurity operations manager at CGI, recalled spending late nights studying for midterms. She said she’d browse the Eventbrite pages, looking for networking events like this one.
“That was actually how I met one of my mentors. It was on — it was very symbolic — it was on an International Women’s Day breakfast,” said Wang.
“And she is still one of my very close friends, but if I hadn’t put myself out there, hadn’t registered for a random Eventbrite… you know, I wouldn’t have met amazing people.”

Aparna Shanker, IP professional services and PLM head at Nokia, had advice for cementing a strong professional foundation early in your career.
“In the beginning, when you just start off in your career, nothing beats hard work. We need to put in the work. Put your head down and work and be good at what you do. There’s no excuse for being lazy, for being inefficient,” said Shanker.
“If you don’t know an answer, I don’t mind it…You’re never gonna have all the answers.”
After the panel discussion, the floor was opened to audience questions. One student asked how they deal with sometimes being the only woman or only person of colour in the room.
“I would challenge a reframe of being the only one in that room to being early in the room, and really look at it through that lens,” said Sheena Brady, AC alumna and general manager at Fullscript Canada.
“Are you, in fact, early to the room and do you have incredible, unique perspective, experience, not just professional, but lived experience?”
Students networked with each other and employers after the question portion.
Algonquin student Albatoul Abusneina, in her last semester of business entrepreneurship, said organizations need to be better at considering the needs of a diverse workplace, even when it comes to worker protection. For a final project in one class, her group is making work wear for women in trades.

“I’ve had people come tell me their daughter’s got a hi-vis vest, and then it was way too big on her shoulders. It kept falling off and that’s a safety issue,” said Abusneina.
“There’s so many issues that are not being addressed, and I think that if we want to look back throughout history, things don’t happen unless we force it, and we make those changes, and we make those spaces.”

CBC: The B.C. Court of Appeal has overturned a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that limited the Nuchatlaht First Nation’s Aboriginal title claim over part of Nootka Island.
The appeal court found the lower court used an “arbitrary boundary” and made legal errors in assessing the extent of the nation’s land title, concluding that the Nuchatlaht had demonstrated sufficient historical occupation of the territory.
The decision expands recognition of the claim beyond the earlier ruling and reflects evidence of the nation’s long-standing use of the land for hunting, fishing and gathering. It allows the Nuchatlaht to move forward with land-use planning for infrastructure and housing on the territory.

The 67’s have the chance to close out the series on Thursday after 4-1 win against the Frontenacs

The Ottawa 67’s defeated the Kingston Frontenacs 4-1 on Tuesday night in Kingston. The victory gives Ottawa a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven first round series.
Kingston brought the fight to Ottawa in both Game One and Game Two, but it was all Ottawa in Game 3 giving a full effort and continuing the heavy physicality of the series and rivalry.
The offensive explosion and consistency that was featured in the first two games of the series in Ottawa slowed down in Game 3 despite what the score indicated.
For the third straight game, 67’s head coach Dave Cameron stuck out his fourth line, which has dropped the gloves in the previous two games. The same thing happened in Game 3.
Teddy Spitznagel (Ottawa) and Will Bishop (Kingston) dropped the gloves after Spitznagel came barreling in to finish his hit on Bishop 24 seconds into the hockey game.
Ottawa put the puck in the net twice in the first period — well, technically, as they had an ice breaker from Nic Sima that was disallowed for goaltender interference on a lengthy review.
The 67’s still struck first in the hockey game as Spencer Bowes scored his second goal of the series to put the 67’s up 1-0. He was able to break in all alone and put it past Kingston goaltender Matthew Minchak off a pass from captain Cooper Foster.
It was a very quiet second period. Both teams had their chances but both goalies were sharp.
Ottawa had goals in the third period from Jasper Kuhta, who scored his second of the series, and Sam McCue, who scored his first OHL playoff goal.
Kingston pushed back with a power-play goal which was their lone goal of the game from Matthew Henderson as he received a pass from Landon Wright and stepped into the left dot and ripped it pass Ryder Fetterolf.
However, Ottawa’s Nic Sima raced down the ice on the missed empty net attempt and put away the game with his second goal of the series to seal the deal for the 67’s to make it 4-1 and secure the win.
Ottawa has the chance to move onto the second round against the winner of the Barrie Colts and Niagara Ice Dogs.
Ryder Fetterolf stopped 17 of 18 shots in his third straight win of the series.
The city ramps up parking enforcement at Ben Franklin Place and Mary Pitt Centre

Parking Lot 10 at Algonquin College along with the sign showing the parking fees. College Square is in the background.
The City of Ottawa was issuing dozens of parking fines every day at the Mary Pitt Centre and Ben Franklin Place starting Feb. 2, responding to what officials described as a significant rise in unauthorized parking by Algonquin College students.
City staff said signage reserving the lots for employees and visitors has been in place for several years, but since the September 2025 unauthorized parking by students has increased. The city contacted nearby institutions, including Algonquin College, on Nov. 27 and again on Jan. 27, asking them to warn people about enforcement and to remind them the lots are not intended forcampus overflow.
The city provided the Algonquin Times with the ticket statistics, which showed there were about 50 to 100 fines per day as the college warned people about parking at the city-owned lots. One vehicle had been towed for blocking an exit lane, the city said.
The crackdown came as many students were already struggling with the costs of parking on campus.
Algonquin’s annual permits can run at hundreds of dollars, and daily rates add upquickly for those coming and going several times a week.
Monthly parking permits range from $132 to $187, while annual passes can cost anywhere from $801 to over $1,100, depending on the lot.

For some, that price gap is enough to push them off campus into surrounding neighbourhoods.
“Ottawa is expensive, and I can’t afford to spend money all the time,” said Abbey Treanor, a finishing interior design student who parked off-campus to avoid fees.
Fourth-level business-accounting student Matthew Baskett said parking fees are a regular pressure on his budget.
“Parking costs way more than it should. I’m already budgeting carefully as a student, so having to drop that much money just to park my car just feels unreasonable,” said Baskett.
Others have tried to avoid paying altogether, but parking enforcement made them reconsider.
“I usually try to save money by parking on nearby streets instead of paying for a spot on campus, but on a really busy morning I couldn’t find anything and ended up having to pay anyway,” said Chen Shen, a second‑semester practical nursing student.
The issue isn’t confined to Centrepointe lots.
College Square, the large plaza adjacent to campus, has repeatedly warned students not to leave their cars there unless they are actively shopping. Enforcement at the plaza has been a recurring problem for more than a decade, with students regularly getting parking tickets and their cars towed.
The city says the parking at Mary Pitt Centre and Ben Franklin Place is limited and must remain available only for staff and visitors.
While long‑term solutions are being considered, city officials say enforcement will continue.

Museums and city services joined in with humorous announcements, including the Canadian Agriculture and Food Museum promoting “donkey yoga” sessions and the Canadian Museum of Nature claiming the discovery of a new “Canadian Wolf Bird.”

CBC News: Canada Post is moving ahead with the plan to end home deliveries for about four million addresses.
The Crown corporation says it will turn the remaining home-delivery locations into community mailboxes, apartment boxes or rural delivery points.
The changes stem from last fall’s declaration that Canada Post could face an “existential crisis” with billions of dollars of losses.
Shifts are expected to happen over the next nine years, with the bulk of it expected in the next three to four years, as part of a broader modernization plan which also includes retail network changes.

Global News: Surging gas prices tied to the Iran war are prompting a growing number of Canadians to look at purchasing electric vehicles instead.
Prices have risen 47 cents per litre over the past month to around $1.77 per litre.
Searches on pre-owned car platform Clutch have grown 54 per cent since the start of the conflict.
Experts say cheaper models and federal rebates are making the switch feel more realistic, but high prices are still the biggest issue, with nearly six in 10 potential buyers saying they can’t get past the upfront cost.
